This is a summary of some exploratory data analysis examining data from California water audits from 2011-2019

1 Loss data by length of mains (as a proxy for population)



We don’t have population data so we can’t break it down the same way as Georgia, but we can use length of mains in miles as a proxy for the size of the utility


2 Water losses through time

Looking at the supply and loss data through time again broken down by length of mains. It doesn’t look like there is a clear trend with time.


3 Cost of water losses


4 Potential drivers of water loss

Crossplots of losses with length of mains, pressure, and number of connections broken down by population served
